Help identify radiator trap
Wondering if any of you guys recognize this steam radiator trap so I could locate proper replacement for this system.
Will the B&J 122A work for me here?

I have never seen that trap before. Maybe @Steamhead will comment. You can replace it with any thermostatic radiator trap.

System has 6 radiators with this device, and 2 radiators with two pipes and vents.
Starting to think the system started life as a vapor system, no additional traps in the system, but there are 3/4 & 1/2" returns that tie in below the boiler water level

It's a Haines Vento trap. This type of trap used a Bourdon tube rather than an expanding bellows or diaphragm. Here's what it looks like inside:
AFAIK, these traps are not rebuildable, but the B&J #122A is a good choice for replacement.
